Is there dental insurance that offers free dental sealants as part of preventive dental care
My four year old has week teeth and has already two cavities. We cut back on the sweet and I brush his teeth after lunch and before bed time. The dentist said that I should think about putting on dental sealants to help protect his teeth from future cavities. I do not have dental insurance and his dental care is getting to be expensive. Any advise?

My first suggestion would be to get some dental insurance. If you need a low cost plan look into HMO dental plans. Most of them offer free to very low cost care for preventive dental services.
Make sure they have dental sealants though many plans do cover for teeth sealants for children. Getting the right dental insurance for your family needs with save you greatly on the cost of having dental care.
My second suggestion would be start with this web site in order to review the dental plans they have available to you. It is easy all you have to do is enter your zip code in the quote box above.

Getting dental insurance would be a good first step. My son had bad tooth enamel too. So having dental sealants put on saved us money in the long run.
Otherwise he would have gotten cavities or would have needed major dental care that would be much more costly then the dental sealants.
I would suggest having the dental sealant work done. My dental insurance plan covered for most of the cost so you can see where having dental insurance will help.
